An anti-inflammatory diet is one of the most important aspects of health for a carnivore.  Inflammation is one of the underlying problems of many health problems and one of its causes in our pets is an unnatural, processed diet.  A species appropriate (raw food diet) is anti-inflammatory by nature.  Corn, rice, and wheat are pro-inflammatory and are not part of a species appropriate diet.  Carnivore’s have no biological need for grains of any kind.  When the body is fed food that it doesn’t know how to properly digest, its natural inflammatory process kicks in and trouble often begins.  Weight gain, digestive issues, lethargy, allergies, and reoccurring infections are some of the things we see.  When these foods are fed over a long period of time, it can set the stage for poor immune response and disease.

Processed, commercial foods such as kibble are pro-inflammatory because they lack moisture and contain carcinogens and glycotoxins as a result of processing.  These foods are dehydrating, enzyme deficient, and put an undue burden on the body’s organs.

Foods naturally high in moisture such as fresh, raw meat and vegetables are critical in maintaining optimal health.  Animals will look great on the outside and feel terrific on the inside when they are fed their natural diet.  They will be happy, vibrant, and full of energy and you will be happy knowing your pet is thriving.
